STOXX updates fast entry rules

September 26, 2013--STOXX Limited, the market-moving provider of innovative, tradable and global index concepts, today announced changes to its fast entry rules in order to better respond to extraordinary market events in a timely and appropriate manner.

Changes being announced today are effective immediately and are the result of a review of the methodology and meeting of the STOXX Advisory Board.

Under the updated fast entry rule, all eligible stocks must have a rank on the latest selection list which lies within the top 50 percent of the number of the respective index's constituents. For example, stocks must rank between 1 to 25 for indices with 50 constituents, and between 1 and 15 for indices with 30 constituents, to be added to the respective index. This makes the fast entry rule symmetric to the fast exit rule which typically sets the threshold at rank 75 for an index with 50 constituents. Previously, stocks on the selection lists were required to have a rank of 1 to 40 to be eligible for inclusion.

Russian Economic Report 30: Structural Challenges to Growth Become Binding

September 25, 2013--September 25, 2013 – Slowdown in consumption, stalled investment demand, and a continuing weak external environment led to the downward revision of the World Bank's May growth projection for Russia from 2.3 percent to 1.8 percent in 2013. Despite the observed slowdown, the Russian economy is projected to accelerate to 3.1 percent growth in 2014, says the World Bank's Russian Economic Report №30 launched today in Moscow.

"The economy appears to be growing close to its capacity, constrained by feeble investment activities and a tight labor market," said Birgit Hansl, World Bank Lead Economist and Country Sector Coordinator for Economic Policy in Russia and the main author of the Report. "Global recovery could result in an increase in Russian exports starting in the fourth quarter of 2013, while the World Bank projects oil prices to remain stable. Next year's growth prospects will largely depend on the recovery in Russia's most important economic partner, the Euro Area, and the increased investment activities associated with the recently announced large state investment projects to be financed off-budget."
